Headaches occur due to a variety of factors, but regardless of why they occur, what they all have in common is we want them to go away fast. It is difficult to be productive or be in a good mood when your head is pounding and throbbing with agony at every move. Although dozens of over-the-counter and prescription formulas are out there, not everyone is able to find a pain medication that can actually provide relief. On the other hand, those who do find an effective pain-reliever are doing damage to their liver in the process; overloading the liver with synthetic chemicals that needlessly travel throughout the whole bloodstream, when the pain is only in one region of the body - the head, face and neck. By applying Amrita's Headache Relief to the area of pain only, you can avoid giving your body a toxic overload with headache medicines, which are notorious for their side effects (including damage to the stomach lining and liver). Birch and Peppermint release tension and provide almost instant pain relief. Sweet Lavandin is famous for calming the nerves and releasing tension. These are the three most important essential oils for relieving headache pain, and together they create a combination that you can rely on to bring you on-the-go headache relief no matter where you are.
